ATEX Resources Inc. is a Latin America-focused exploration company managed by a team of dedicated professionals with a history of discovering major mineral deposits in South American including the La Fortuna copper-gold deposit, the Volcan gold deposit, the Cerro Maricunga gold deposit, the Pascua gold deposit, the Cortadera copper deposit, Taltal iron deposit, as well as others.
ATEX’s flagship property is the Valeriano copper gold project where the Company recently reported initial mineral resources for the near surface oxide gold deposit as well as for the large copper gold porphyry which underlies the oxide gold deposit. While ATEX’s immediate focus is on expanding the current oxide gold resource with the goal of commencing economic studies in the near future, the Company is committed to realizing the full value of the Valeriano copper gold porphyry.
Elsewhere in northern Chile, ATEX has initiated a low cost generative exploration program exploring for high sulphidation precious metals deposits and has staked a number of properties for review.
